What is Gaia?

[Sweagenv4]

When you get right down to it, just what is Gaia? How do you define Gaia? What is the essence of Gaia Online?

[AterAliquis]

A forum.

That just happens to have pretty pixels next to each post as opposed to a user chosen picture.

A habit I'm not exactly trying to kick, but sometimes I think I should. sweatdrop

And to me it's an extension of tumblr/deviantart because I spend so much time in the art forums.

[Lady Vizsla]

A chatting platform.

[Sassy Caramelle]

I'd be hopping it would be much more than what
everyone else is saying. But I guess not.

Gaia is, by definition, a forum. It's foundation was an anime forum. Before all this market place, events, etc happened, Gaiaonline was just downright a forum. Thats how I view it. Since there's alot of change to it now, people might view it differently, but it's base core is being a forum about Anime ( I believe ). Nothing more to it. Now as it grew, the topics grew as well, but that's its main cause.

[Dame Ephelia]

A place where a bunch of weeaboos justify spending $500 on virtual anime bullshit to dress up their waifus.

[Chahklet]

Hell.

i tell most people it's just an old-school online community

and if they ask for more info, when i explain, somehow it always ends up sounding really ******** cool and sophisticated. o - o

mostly bcs. basically the rest of the internet does not run on forums anymore so like... to most people it seems like we're doing some esoteric artsy thing here.

because tbh regardless of all the jaded witty comments, what we usually do on Gaia is a lot more interesting than what most people do on Facebook.
